Product details
Overview
T6N47AHM3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional surface-mount PAR® Transient Voltage Suppressor in DFN3820A package, featuring 47 V nominal breakdown voltage (VBR), 40.2 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 64.8 V clamping voltage at 9.3 A peak pulse current, and 600 W peak pulse power rating (10/1000 μs). It is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive sensor line protection.
For engineers reviewing the T6N47AHM3/I datasheet, T6N47AHM3/I pinout, T6N47AHM3/I application, or T6N47AHM3/I equivalent, this device supports high-reliability transient suppression in space-constrained automotive ECUs where TJ = 185 °C operation, side-wettable flanks for AOI, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility are required.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology with junction passivation optimized for stable clamping under repetitive surge stress. Its unidirectional configuration provides low-leakage reverse blocking up to 40.2 V while delivering precise 47 V breakdown at 1 mA test current.
The DFN3820A package enables thermal resistance of RθJM = 5 °C/W (typ) to the PCB mount pad, supporting sustained operation at junction temperatures up to +185 °C. It meets IEC 61000-4-2 ±30 kV ESD immunity and is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and qualified per AEC-Q101.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (Nom) | 47.0 V - precise breakdown threshold at 1 mA, enabling accurate overvoltage triggering in 36 V automotive systems |
| VWM | 40.2 V - maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 1.0 μA, ensuring signal integrity during normal operation |
| VC @ IPPM | 64.8 V - clamping voltage at 9.3 A peak pulse current, limiting downstream IC stress during ISO 7637-2 pulse 1/2a transients |
| PPPM (10/1000 μs) | 600 W - surge energy handling capacity sufficient for load-dump and inductive switching events in engine control modules |
| TJ max | +185 °C - extended junction temperature rating enabling placement near high-power components without derating penalties |
| Polarity | Unidirectional - blocks reverse voltage only, ideal for DC-biased signal lines like CAN or LIN bus protection |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV (IEC 61000-4-2 contact) - robust electrostatic discharge immunity for assembly and field operation in vehicle cabins |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN3820A - leadless, 2-terminal surface-mount package measuring 3.95 mm × 2.18 mm × 0.88 mm (L × W × H), with side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection and solder-joint reliability verification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Heatsink) | Current return path / thermal interface | Exposed metal pad functions as primary thermal conduction path to PCB copper; must be connected to large ground plane for RθJM = 5 °C/W performance |
| Cathode (K) | Transient current sink | Connected to protected line (e.g., sensor supply); conducts surge current to anode when V > VBR, clamping voltage to VC |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Side-wettable flanks | Enables 100% automated optical inspection (AOI) of solder fillets without X-ray, reducing post-reflow defect escape in automotive production |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock - required for Tier-1 ECU BOM inclusion |
| Junction passivation | Stabilizes VBR drift across lifetime and temperature; αT = 0.092 %/°C ensures predictable clamping behavior from -65 °C to +185 °C |
| MSL Level 1 | Supports standard 260 °C peak reflow profile without baking, simplifying SMT line integration and inventory management |
| Halogen-free & RoHS | Complies with automotive material compliance standards (e.g., GMW3172, Ford WSS-M99P9999-A1) and EU environmental directives |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Automotive Cabin Sensor Module |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 5 V or 12 V sensor supply rails (e.g., MAP, O2, crankshaft position sensors) from load-dump and alternator ripple transients. IC Role / Device Role: Primary transient voltage suppressor placed at connector entry point before LDO regulator input. Use Value: Clamps 600 W surges to ≤64.8 V, preventing latch-up or damage to downstream ASICs rated for 45 V absolute maximum. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding LIN bus communication lines in door modules and seat controllers against ESD and cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional TVS on LIN data line (dominant/recessive signaling), referenced to local ground. Use Value: Delivers ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection while maintaining <1.0 μA leakage at 12 V, preserving bus timing margins. |
| ADAS Camera Power Input | Electric Power Steering (EPS) Motor Driver Interface |
Use Scenario: Shielding 3.3 V or 5 V image sensor power inputs from ignition noise and battery transients in front/rear camera assemblies. IC Role / Device Role: Secondary-level TVS after main fuse, located adjacent to image sensor IC package. Use Value: Low-profile 0.88 mm height fits under compact camera lens housings; TJ = 185 °C rating sustains reliability in sealed enclosures. | Use Scenario: Protecting gate driver logic inputs from MOSFET switching noise and inductive kickback in EPS motor control boards. IC Role / Device Role: Point-of-load TVS on isolated PWM signal traces between MCU and gate driver IC. Use Value: Fast response time (<1 ns) and 64.8 V clamping prevent false triggering of high-side drivers during 40 V+ transients. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ47AHE3/5BT | DO-214AC (SMA) package; higher RθJA (150 °C/W); VBR = 47.1–49.4 V; same 600 W PPPM | Through-hole or larger SMT footprint; less suitable for AOI or ultra-thin modules | Select when legacy board layout or manual rework capability is prioritized over space and thermal performance |
| SMCJ47A | DO-214AB (SMC) package; 1500 W PPPM; VBR = 47.1–49.4 V; RθJA ≈ 100 °C/W | Higher power handling but 7.11 mm × 6.22 mm footprint; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Choose for non-automotive industrial applications requiring greater surge margin and relaxed thermal constraints |
Compared with SMAJ47AHE3/5BT and SMCJ47A, the T6N47AHM3/I offers superior board-area efficiency (3.95 mm × 2.18 mm), certified automotive qualification, and lower thermal resistance to PCB mount - critical for dense, thermally constrained ADAS and powertrain modules.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage tolerance for T6N47AHM3/I?
The T6N47AHM3/I has a breakdown voltage (VBR) tolerance of ±5 %, specified as 44.7 V (min) to 49.4 V (max) at 1 mA test current. This tight tolerance ensures predictable turn-on behavior in automotive 36 V system protection circuits and aligns with AEC-Q101 requirements for parameter consistency across temperature and lifetime.
Is T6N47AHM3/I compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, T6N47AHM3/I is fully compatible with lead-free reflow processes. It meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and supports a maximum peak reflow temperature of 260 °C. The matte tin-plated terminals comply with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, and the HM3 suffix confirms JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
What does the "HM3" suffix mean in T6N47AHM3/I?
The "HM3" suffix in T6N47AHM3/I indicates AEC-Q101 qualification (H), halogen-free composition, RoHS compliance, and Pb-free termination (M3). It also certifies compliance with JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing - a mandatory requirement for automotive under-hood and safety-critical applications.
Can T6N47AHM3/I be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, T6N47AHM3/I is strictly unidirectional. Its internal structure and polarity marking (cathode band) support only single-quadrant transient suppression. For bidirectional protection, Vishay offers complementary parts such as the T6N47AHM3/IT (transient-rated dual-diode configuration) or separate back-to-back unidirectional devices.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to mount (RθJM) for T6N47AHM3/I?
The thermal resistance from junction to mount (RθJM) for T6N47AHM3/I is 5 °C/W (typical), measured per JEDEC® 51-14 using the transient dual interface method. This low value is achieved via the exposed anode pad and requires connection to ≥100 mm² of 2 oz. copper on the PCB for optimal thermal performance.
